Chapter 110: Accidents Always Happen
The Kyoto Imperial Palace, as people call it the Imperial Palace, where the Emperor of Japan lives, is not too far from Nijo Castle, and Muki didn't go far before he walked to it. [Ran^Text^Library] The Emperor was the nominal leader of Japan, and she must have lived in a larger place than the shogun's residence, which Kiki could not see.
Although Japanese culture has been influenced by the culture of the Tang Dynasty in China, over the past thousand years, it has also formed a unique architectural style, and there are many cultural attractions that are worth visiting, and the Kyoto Imperial Palace is one of them. Mu Mu used to be a poor ** silk, and he was reluctant to spend money to travel to Japan. Now that he is in the game, he can enjoy the scenery of Japan and make up for his real-life regrets.
New World is a game that pays attention to connotation, and for the historical places of interest in various countries, the joint network has made great efforts to replicate them in the game, so that many players can enjoy the peculiar scenery without leaving home. Mu Mu also has the idea of sightseeing, he deliberately went around the Kyoto Imperial Palace, and after a circle, Mu Mu had a general impression of the Kyoto Imperial Palace: the Kyoto Imperial Palace is 1,300 meters long from north to south, 700 meters wide from east to west, and there are four gates - the Xianchun Gate in the east, the Yiqiu Gate in the west, the Jianli Gate in the south, and the Shuoping Gate in the north.
Although the Japanese emperor is only a puppet and does not hold real power, the emperor's palace is not accessible to anyone. In the process of playing, Mu Mu tried to enter the palace through the four city gates, but was stopped by the guards at the city gates without exception.
The shogun was very wary of the emperor, and he would not let people meet the emperor casually. Therefore, the Kyoto Imperial Palace was heavily guarded, nominally to protect the Emperor, but in fact the Emperor was placed under house arrest. The Emperor plays a crucial role in Mumu's plan, and he must meet the Emperor as soon as possible and cooperate with him. But right now, Mu Mu couldn't enter the palace at all, which made him very anxious.
Although Kiki has a great reputation in the game, and with his status, he can come and go freely in many parts of Japan, but when it comes to Kyoto, his prestige is useless, or it does not meet Kiki's expectations. Kyoto was the base camp of the shogun, and as an outsider, Kiki's influence had not yet had time to infiltrate. Most of the people in Kyoto City didn't know him, and the guards of the Kyoto Imperial Palace didn't know him, and it was impossible for these guards to let Mumu enter the Imperial Palace.
The guards of the imperial palace are very polite and respectful to Mumu, and they try their best to cooperate with Mumu in some things. Mu Mu knew that this was his worship prestige at work, but when Mu Mu proposed to enter the palace, Mu Mu said that it was useless, and the guards just wouldn't let him in. If the guard's attitude is bad, Mu Mu can also find an excuse to clean up the guards and take the opportunity to enter the palace, but the guard's performance makes Mu Mu have no chance to take advantage of it.
Mu Mu now has no skills, but there is nowhere to show them. In this way, he fell into a helpless position, and just when he was about to give up, Akechi Mitsuhide appeared in front of Mumu, and things suddenly took a turn for the better. After Akechi Mitsuhide was released, he was not in a hurry to go home, he wanted to walk around casually, and by the way, he thought about how to contact Sasaki. However, Sasaki did not have a fixed residence in Kyoto, and Akechi Mitsuhide didn't know where to find him, but he didn't expect to be met by him by accident, and Akechi Mitsuhide felt that this was the arrangement of fate, and he had to cherish this opportunity.
Although Akechi Mitsuhide was dismissed, but he was dismissed for a short time, and this order still stayed in the mouths of the upper echelons, and low-end people like the palace guards did not know such a thing, and they still regarded Akechi Mitsuhide as a big man and believed his words.
Akechi Mitsuhide didn't know what Sasaki wanted to do in the palace, but he wouldn't miss the opportunity to help Sasaki. He pretended to be very enthusiastic and walked towards Sasaki, and at the same time said: "Your Excellency Sasaki, why did you come out, I was looking for you, Your Excellency General was afraid that you were not familiar with Kyoto, so he specially asked me to be your guide and take you to visit Kyoto City?" ”
When Mu Mu heard Akechi Mitsuhide's words, he immediately understood what he meant, and now his problem was solved, so Mu Mu quietly hid his joy, put on a relieved expression, and said: "Akechi Lord, you came just in time, I want to go into the palace to have a look, but the guards don't know me and won't let me in, you help me explain to the guards." ”
When Akechi Mitsuhide heard Mu Mu's words, he immediately asked the guards with a straight face: "What's going on, you don't know that Sasaki is the general's honored guest, how can you snub him, and don't hurry up and open the city gate to let him go." After speaking, he changed his face again, and said to Mu Mu with a stammering and flattering tone: "Your Excellency Sasaki, this is a misunderstanding, they don't know your identity, and please have a lot of adults, don't be like them." With that, he made a 'please' gesture with his hand.
The guards felt that they were too wronged, and they knew that Sasaki was the general's honored guest, and they complained in their hearts: "The big man is really full of food, and he has nothing to do with a private visit, doesn't this make it difficult for the people below?" The guards could only consider themselves unlucky, and bumped into the muzzle of the gun, and they hurriedly let Sasaki go, just wanting to send the plague god away as soon as possible.
Mu Mu and Akechi Mitsuhide walked into the palace one after another, and Mu Mu said to Akechi Mitsuhide as he walked: "Lord Akechi, your general is really thoughtful, you have helped me a lot, and when you see the general, you will convey my thanks for me." "Your Excellency, you are so gracious, it is my honor to serve you." Akechi Mitsuhide said this like a compliment on the scene, but it was actually his true thoughts, and he took this way to say it. Kiki was very satisfied with Akechi Mitsuhide, and just like that, they disappeared from the guard's sight with mutual compliments.
As soon as Sasaki disappeared, he saw a man in black come to the guard, and said to the guard with a very bad attitude: "It was Sasaki and Akechi Mitsuhide who went in just now." ”
The guards were very disgusted with the man in black, but they had just suffered Sasaki's loss, and they couldn't figure out the identity of the man in black, for fear that this man in black was also a person with status, so Mu Mu hid his disgust and replied reluctantly: "Yes." ”
When the man in black heard the guard's words, he was furious, and he scolded the guard: "You are pigs, why do you let them in, you do this, but it will ruin the general's good deeds." ”
The guards were in a bad mood, and the man in black scolded them without asking, and they couldn't stand it now, one of the guards responded to the man in black: "Who the hell are you scolding, what is your identity, dare to do this to me, take out the documents quickly, otherwise don't blame us for being polite." ”
The man in black is also an arrogant lord, when was he angry with the guards, and besides, his identity was a secret, not known to these guards, he didn't pay attention to the guards' questions at all.
When the guards saw that the man in black couldn't get his papers, they guessed that he was just a small character, which just made them vent the evil anger in their hearts, and when they saw the guards draw their weapons, they surrounded the man in black, and at the same time said: "Grandson, you dare to provoke us, see how grandpa cleans you up." ”
The man in black was a skilled agent, but his hands were no match for the guards, and he was quickly beaten to the ground. The guards still had some scruples about the identity of the man in black, so they didn't dare to be ruthless, and were only ready to teach the man in black a lesson. Even so, the man in black was also miserable, his whole body was beaten to the point of partial bruises, at this time, the man in black felt scared, he was really afraid of the black hand of the guards, the hero did not suffer the loss in front of him, he took advantage of a gap, escaped, he wanted to report to the general.
The Kyoto Imperial Palace is a very large place, Kiki didn't know where the emperor lived, fortunately, Akechi Mitsuhide was very familiar with this place, and under his leadership, they walked towards the palace, because there were very few guards inside the palace, only a few patrolling soldiers occasionally, but the soldiers ignored Kiki's existence, and Mumu soon came to the palace gate.
The Emperor's daily residence was located in the Zichen Hall, and when Mu Mu entered the Zichen Hall, he found that there was not a single guard in the main hall. Based on Kiki's view of the defense system of the Kyoto Imperial Palace, he came to a conclusion: the shogun only guarded against outsiders colluding with the emperor, and did not care about the safety of the emperor's life, which can be imagined how miserable the emperor's situation was. The shogun had already ignored the authority of the emperor, and it was hoped that it would not be long before the emperor would be deposed, and this situation was very favorable to Kiki.
The Emperor sits on the Imperial Tent in the center of the Shishiroden Palace, where the Emperors of the past have received ministers, foreign envoys, and held important events. Now the emperor is here to meet outsiders, just to promote the majesty of the emperor, but the emperor is the only one in the large Zichen Hall, which not only does not show the authority of the emperor, but sets off the emperor's misery.
When Mumu walked to the imperial tent, he did not stand and talk to the emperor like everyone else, but knelt down first to salute the emperor. Mu Mu's actions were purposeful, he knew that many people ignored the emperor's authority, and if he showed due respect, he would definitely win the emperor's favor and help Mu Mu's plan be realized.
Mu Mu's actions really touched the emperor, the emperor didn't expect that there were still people saluting her, for a while, she didn't know how to deal with it, just like that, Mu Mu knelt there and saluted for a long time. The emperor saw 'Sasaki' kneeling there without regrets, without a trace of complaint, and seemed so sincere. The emperor is very clear about his situation, and there are still people who respect her so much, so this person is a real loyal servant, and she must cherish it, at this time, the emperor realized her faux pas and made Sasaki kneel for a long time, so she hurriedly asked Sasaki to calm down.
Mu Mu has been kneeling, and he didn't see the true face of the emperor, at this time he heard the emperor's voice, he was surprised, and hurriedly looked up at the emperor: Yuan Ming Emperor (female), Mu Mu never thought that the Japanese emperor turned out to be a woman, which caught Mu Mu a little off guard. According to Mu Mu's understanding, female NPCs are generally positioned as 'gentle and elegant' characters in the game, and there are few ambitious characters. If the Japanese female emperor had no ambitions, then how could he fool the emperor into rebelling against the shogun. All of a sudden, Mu Mu felt that his plan was about to fail.
